- 50 amazing photos of Pioneer Girl Laura Ingalls Wilder. Growing into a world-famous author, she had a long, amazing life. I ended up editing so many photos, I decided to do her separate from the rest of her family, so I'll have one soon for her daughter, Rose Wilder Lane and one for the Ingalls family & their friends. The background videos are in 4K!
See the rest of the family, and Reverend Alden here: • The Real Ingalls Famil...
#LauraIngallsWilder #AlmanzoWilder #LitteHouseOnThePrairie
When I was in the 6th grade I was reading the book series. My parents decided to take a three or four month trip across the United States (myself, my brother and my parents) in our car. We sold our house, they quit their jobs and we missed a little bit of school. They said that if we were going to learn American history we could learn about it where it actually happened. It was the bicentennial. Dad had a certain route to take and Missouri was many miles out of the way but he knew I'd love to see the Laura Ingalls Wilder house and so we drove all the way there just for me so that I could experience the books I was reading. I will never forget that.
That would be amazing to see all the things I've always heard about, like Pa's fiddle and Ma's China shepherdess.
I've seen it but hey I live real close.😅
@@HB-of6hq I only live 10 hrs 9 mins away. 644 miles. 😝
@@HistoryBUB I'm from outside Fordland Mo. Just a town away from Mansfield. 😅
Then you know about the iron ore in the ground in the national forest. It acts as a magnetic field drawing in storms . Try telling someone Fordland is the heart of tornado alley abd explaining to them how abd why gets them confused as hell. 🤣
It’s amazing the ages that Laura and Almanzo lived to, considering the hard lives they lived. She was so lovely and so are all her books. 🦋🦋🦋
I know. Especially since Almanzo had the strokes, and the life expectancy was lower back then. They really beat the odds.
As each picture went by, I was so shocked to see him still in the pics.
Hard life, pre-modern medicine, living thru the depression, etc. A testament to living ‘back to basics’.
I’m only 54, but curious how my and my wife’s choices will pay out.
(Married 30+ years and we’ve never bought things like Can soup. We make most of our foods, not farmers, but we try to eliminate the ‘processed’ stuff.)
*was funny when our sons realized that soup comes in a can and pasta in boxes. They’d never seen them at home. (We also enjoy cooking together, so that made our choice easy.)
@@dericksmith2137 sounds like you have a happy marriage and a pleasant life, wishing you continued health and happiness, 🦘🌈🇦🇺
@@HistoryBUB Lots more kids died back then. So if you lived past age 5 your chances were pretty good for a long life. Vaccines and other medical treatment for young children really expanded our life expectancy.
This was before they started putting poisons in our food and giving us backwards recommendations on what to eat. It was all a plan of the Rockefellers since they took over medicine and pharma.
I read every book at least 3 times. Mrs. Wilder changed my life as a young reader and I'll be forever grateful.
I read them as a kid and adult also. Great books.
People didn’t smile in photos back then. So the first smile we see from Laura says she was age 70! And it was a lovely smile too. I’m glad we got to see it.
I noticed and thought the same thing... When people smile, their facial expression is more relaxed and they look more "humanized" and real to our eyes...
The girls were just so lovely in that first picture.
Yes, one of my favorites. Laura was already helping Mary "see" with her words at that point.
Oh I loved this. I read and re-read all her books when young. I am 71. When I spent time with grandma and grandaddy in the summer on the farm down a gravel road, a traveling library would come to the little red store on the highway and I checked out her books first always. I enjoyed these pictures. They lived such long lives. My grandma was 99 3/4 when she passed away. Active most of it.
Great memories. I remember Mom had several of them throughout the years and what she didn't have we could read at the library next to the school on library day. They sure made an impression on many people.
I'll be 69 years old in just over a month and I STILL love Laura's books! I have them all in one of my bookcases.
They're great!
Rereading Long Winter, helped during Covid lockdown weeks. We have nothing to complain about, no frozen train, twisting hay to burn, etc.
It's wonderful to learn that modern day "young chick's" are so interested in Laura's work. 👏👍.
As a kid I really looked up to Laura. Rose died the year I was born but I credit Laura to my love of reading...and writing. I remember telling my mother that I wanted a journal when I was 10 because I wanted to write like Laura did. Now I am 54 years old, and am a published author. She changed my life.
Congratulations on being published.
Forgive me, I am nosy. I looked you up. What is a concept writer? I have ideas but no discipline. Some are sparked from authors I have read, others are all my own. I want to see one story in particular come to fruition but I lack the persistence and patience to write an entire book.
First thing I thought when I saw your name was Blanche………… I’m sure you deal with that a lot
J’ai adoré la série et ça m’a fait très plaisir de voir ces photos incroyables, c’est un beau témoignage du passé américain
C'est vrai. J'aime aussi ces photos. Désolé si mon français est erroné, je dois utiliser un traducteur.
She passed 2 years before I was born. I remember discovering her books in the 5th grade, the first book series I read completely. It holds a special place in my mind and heart. Seeing these pictures gives me the feels.
Her books were the only set my mother ever bought me as a child when she realized I was her only bookworm out of 7 kids. I was born the y after Laura died. I used to dream I had a Ma& Pa like hers since mine were so cold and abusive. I still have the series in my attic. My gran daughter is only 5 months old, but I will save them for her and hope she loves to read like her grandmother! Hopefully she will learn to day dream through stories like so many of us little girls did with Laura’s books!!!
Sorry to hear that. Reading about Caroline reminds me of my mother. Always making each holiday magical and each situation more bearable.
I absolutely love this. I’ve always been in love with her books and loved the tv show also♥️
Thanks. Me too. I remember reading them in school and several times since.
Wow this is a amazing history video of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I grew up reading her little house books and the tv series little house on the prairie and Ive been rewatching the show and I’m finally at the last season of it and totally I started rewatching the books and today I read half of her first book little house in the big woods. I have mild Cabral palsy and I couldn’t read but with the help of a tutor I can read I went from book with just pictures and words and then Joanie b Jones and then the little house on the prairie books to young adult books like twilight and hunger games. The show made miss my books so I got them yesterday ❤😊
Thanks so much for this! I'm rereading her books as an adult and highly recommend it. I used to get a book every Christmas, and I've loved her since childhood. She's a terrific writer - not just for kids at all.
You're right. Great reading for all ages.
I am too and I’m 67! They are educational even at my age. I didn’t take notice my first time through about so much, for instance, poor man’s fertilize. I looked it up and it’s quite interesting.
How they kept sour dough going was interesting as well and when they landed on their homestead in DeSmet Ma was so happy to use yeast again. As a bread maker and researcher that was illuminating.
With progressive political pressure today I found the elements racism very loud, though very misunderstood in today’s discussion.
The books are worth a second read as an adult with children and grandchildren.
@@robinbarrett1158 I find the allegations of racism unfounded. Times were different, and it's intellectually dishonest to apply today's standards to the 19thC. It's like being angry that infectious illnesses weren't treated with antibiotics. I'd like to replace every single LIW Board Member,, but that seems impossible. They should protect her legacy, not undermine it. And no one ever mentions one ethnic group the Ingalls hated as much as Indians - Norwegians. Now, why is that?
What a beautiful lady, inside and out! Thanks for the pictures.
I agree. You're welcome!
Thanks for this! Have read everything she's written, plus everything written about her. Fascinating life.
Yes, me too. You're welcome!
I treasured her books, as a child. I read them all. Over and over. 💕
Love this show. I am so impressed with Laura’s writings ❤️
I envy the life she and Almanzo lived together. I haven't read the Little House books, but recently read "West From Home" which was personal letters she sent back home to Almanzo while visiting her daughter Rose at the San Francisco World's Fair in 1915 and really enjoyed it.
Seeing these pictures of them together and happy from youth to their 80's and 90's is nice. It's strange though how no one smiled in photographs early on. They all looked so serious, and I love the later ones shown here where she's happily smiling.
I read that, it was very interesting. If you go to the Internet Archives all her books are available there to borrow as an eBook for 1 hour up to 2 weeks. I've read that in the old days they didn't smile for pictures because the exposure took so long, and you can't hold a smile in the right spot for long enough and it would distort the mouth in the photo.
@@HistoryBUB I had no idea about exposures taking so long. I forgot that taking pictures back then wasn't done instantly with just the press of a button like in modern times. But it's nice to see the later pictures where she's smiling. I guess by then the instant click cameras were finally invented.
My God, as others here have commented, the things she's seen that were invented just in her lifetime alone boggles the mind. When I read "West From Home" there's a passage about Laura crossing Market Street and learning how to dodge the automobiles.
Picturing Laura Ingalls doing that is weird because I always picture her from the tv show where there's only horses around. I wonder if she ever took a plane ride too? BTW thanks for the Internet Archives suggestion. I will check that out.
I read once that Laura was going to fly to the east coast to visit her daughter, but I can't remember if she actually did or the plans changed. I tried to find the article again, but keep coming up with only results about the famous pilot named Laura Ingalls. I can't imagine her on Market Street either! I did a video about Market Street San Francisco before the earthquake destroyed it. I love history!
Yes, long exposure was one reason. Another, according to my great grandmother, was that photography was new and people were concerned that they would look "foolish" if they smiled in a picture.
@@HistoryBUB Another reason a lot of people were reluctant to smile in photos was the condition of their teeth if they were lucky enough to have any left. Dentistry was a very different thing back then.
I read her books, and saw its films when I was a little girl. Both (books & films) are amazing for me, I remember till now how its story details are very excited, meaningfull, lots of education values. Many thanks for Laura Ingails Wilder and its publications around the world 🌹🌹🌹
Yes, a very interesting story for sure.
I love Laura she has such amazing books she's an amazing person I just wish that I could have met her it would have been so cool.
Yes, it would have been cool to meet her and the family.
I adored reading her books - over and over until the covers fell off! I now have my own set of them in paperback. What a wonderful person she must have been!
I know she and Almanzo were well-liked. They had many friends and admirers. I've read those books so many times, I could probably re-write them! 🤣
When I was a kid in the 80's my parents didn't believe in having a TV. So I read a lot. I really loved the Little House on the Prairie books.
I remember when Laura got a penny for Christmas. It was her very own penny! She was so happy she could buy so much with it. I was flabbergasted that a penny was worth so much back then.
I saw the TV show at a friend's house and I was very angry they put events in the show that never happened in the book. I probably annoyed my friend telling her over and over that Carrie never fell down a well...
Thank you for the photos! I have never seen most of them!
Unfortunately Landon wanted to modify the scripts, adding characters / things that never happened. the only story told that is inspired by the books is when they were in Kansas.
@@Passioneperlatv That is interesting. Too bad more wasn't the real story.
@@Catlily5 I know, surely Landon will have modified the scripts for sure to have more fame. but if they had told the whole reality in my opinion it was much better than their made-up story.
@@Passioneperlatv I only saw one or two episodes but I thought the real story good.
Thank you for sharing. What a woman, what a memory, and what a mind. The TV series is so good that at 73 it can put a lump in my throat and make my eyes water. Of course grown men don’t cry. What a woman.
You've gone to a lot of effort and thoughtfulness to create this compilation and I want to thank you for that.
Thanks! This one did take a lot of research and development to make it just right & as accurate as possible. This was also my first 4K video, so if you watch it on a tv in 4K it's awesome lol.
Oh wow! There are a good deal here that I had never seen, mostly of Laura’s later years. Thanks for this great upload!
I am 57 now and i am Greek living in Athens,...back in 1975 and later on i used to watch this tv series which was one of my favourite...happy memories from back then!
This is wonderful!! Thank you for doing this and sharing. Little House On The Prairie was one of my favorite shows!
Thanks, and you're welcome! Just watched again earlier this year.
What a treat to see her in pictures. Thank you!
I was fascinated myself when making this. I had never seen some of the photos before. You're welcome!
Absolutely delightful .Thank you so much for sharing
You're welcome, and thank you very much!
i loved that show. still do. althought they didn't have much in the beginning they had hearts full of love and the pioneering spirir.
Wow, so many of these I’d never seen before though I’ve read all her books many times as well as everything else I could ever find about her. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for sharing some photos of my family.
You're welcome!
Just wanted to say how ~ * *BEAUTIFULLY* * ~ this was done ! Thank You~* Very Graciously~ I subscribed ~Peace~
Thanks! I appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing . I feel privileged to see this video.💛🤍.
You're welcome. I love that so many people are enjoying these videos. I did them because I couldn't find any that had all the photos available in them.
Thank you for the photos they were wonderful. And I loved the pretty classical music throughout it ❤️
Growing up in S.Georgia in the 60's and everyday our 4th grade teacher,the hour after lunch introduced us to the Big Woods and all that came after.I will never forget the sharing of life in the North after the Civil war and really as a nation came back together.
Good memories. We read these in school as well.
You can see her strength of personality in her face. It is possible too, I think to see how that came out of the very hard early life she had to cope with. There is a hard, almost flint-like, quality there that has come from a tough life, though it does soften a bit with age. I can see why her father saw her as his little headstrong pony. Also I can see how she needed to be like that just to survive.
You hit the nail on the head. 🔨
So good to see these glorious photos...many thanks
My tutor read her books for me when I was young. Now I wanna read them again. 💖
I don't know where you live, but the winters can be brutal here, so I sometimes read these in the wintertime when stuck inside.
Whats a turtur?
My favorite childhood memories of this series and books. Man she looks beautiful even in her eighties .
My great grandma was a teacher and her class wrote a letter to Laura and got a reply. I don't know what year but my family still has the letter.
I also got to tour de smet, SD recently and saw the surveyor's house (where the Ingalls lived during their first winter there), the school house that Laura and Carrie attended and the trees Almonzo and Laura planted at there homestead before it burnt down.
I read that Laura wrote into most nights responding to all her fans, possibly with the same pens/pencils she used to draft her world-famous books.
I'd like to see all those places, but the surveyor's house is most fascinating to me. I can almost see the barrels of food Pa got for the winter and hear the hustling of the family taking care of all those weary travelers that year. What exciting lives they lived!
Una ragazza curiosa, intelligente, tenace, altruista, sensibile, simpatica. Per quei tempi, una cosa rara, non poteva rimanere nell'anonimato.
Una storia la sua, coinvolgente e commovente.
Grazie alla sua testimonianza e allo sceneggiato che é stato seguito in tutto il mondo, sappiamo molte più cose sulla vita dei pionieri d'America. ❤️
Grazie. Sì, avevano vite molto interessanti. Sono contento che ci siano rimaste queste foto e queste storie, così sappiamo cosa hanno sopportato. Vi auguro una buona giornata.
I fondly remember reading the whole series in grade 6.
Perhaps it's time I re read now that I'm almost 60. A good read never gets old!
I'm happy to learn that Laura and Alonzo lived a long happy life together ❤️
It's so easy to get each book on The Internet Archive. Just borrow for an hour or two weeks, just like a whole library on your phone.
I loved Little House on the Prairie
Me too.
Merci, beaucoup de ces photos m'étaient inconnues. Thank you, I didn't know the great part of these photographies.
I grew up watching Little House. I remember important lessons learned in so many stories that aired. I even rewatched the entire shows again as I raised my own children. I never did read any of the books I'll have to add them to my reading list.
I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures of Laura growing up and through the years. 😊
❤️ what a beautiful tribute. My fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Garda Weist gave us the gift of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her books. Thank you for this content
What a wonderful look at a remarkable woman . She lived a full life...but in some of these later photos she looked sad. Little did she know back then that her stories live on today, stronger than ever!
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Preciosa historia!!!!!!me ha encantado!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Sò cuntentu chì ti sia piaciutu. Grazie! 👍
She looked so classy even in her later years. Love her books!
She was a beautiful woman and I have read a;l of her books!
Another thing that really stuck in my mind and was an amazing memory from that trip was that my brother and I were at the Smithsonian Institute and someone who worked there asked us to be in a fashion show and model children's pioneer clothing so on our visit there we got to be in a fashion show at the museum. It was pretty cool.
My dad grew up just a couple of miles down the road from her, he has a Bible autographed by her, my dad and his friend were selling Bible's donated to the school to provide money for their wood working shop and she bought them all and autographed two of them and gave them back to my dad and his friend.
He still has the Bible and the cedar chest he made with the money from the Bible's and will be passed down to me some time in the future, hopefully far into the future.
He just turned 84 in July.
Cool story. I love hearing stories about people from the past.
Thank you for these! So many I hadn’t seen before. I was in third grade when I first read her books and very rarely do I go long before reading them yet again as an adult. The time period she grew up in must’ve blown her mind at times when things like radio, cars, telephones, movies, televisions and other innovations were created. I do know she loved a good automobile, though. I even became a teacher like her! I find her stories fascinating peeks into a more simpler time.
Minha autora preferida! Obrigado por compartilhar estas fotos. Gratidão! 🇧🇷🙏🏻♥️
I read it as Laura Ingalls wilder in her photos. I was ready for some ankle shots🤣
😂
I read the whole series of those books in the 4th grade. Started my LOVE of 📖. I thank her for that. I also loved the tv show.
Great photo collection!
Bella famiglia piena di valori ,li vedrei di continuo
Sì, erano onorevoli e molto amati.
READ ALL HER BOOKS STARTING MY
AGE WAS 20 IN 1984 I'M STILL READING
THEM ALL OVER AGAIN NOW AT 61
Makes me think of my Grandma. Born in 1884 the changes she saw in he lifetime . My Grandparents on the other side were born in the early 1900s and they lived through 2 world wars and a Depression
I study my ancestors too and try to envision what they really went through, but it's hard to grasp.
She died the year I was born..and her daughter is the one who made her books popular! I have the audio books on kindle I have listened over and over again every night I fall asleep listening.
I tried the audio version of Moby dick a few months ago and kept forgetting to listen and lost track. I don't know if it would be the same for the Little House books, but I found Moby Dick very boring. 😆
Loved it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
I live in upstate NY very close to the Wilder farm.
Have you seen it? I'd love to go there.
At the age of 70 I still remember the thrill of discovering the Little House books❤️
It's amazing that I still read material written for juveniles lol.
I remember reading the books and loving them. And then the TV show came out in the 1970's and I never missed an episode.
When my mother was in elementary school back in the early 50’s, her class wrote a letter to Laura Ingalls Wilder, and she actually wrote them back! Her response is preserved in the city library. As for me, I’ve read her books so many times since I was seven and imagining I was a prairie girl (I’m 43 now) I’ve had to replace my copies because they fell apart.
The books are fiction (look at the cover/spine) but with a lot of real stuff. A great actual biography of Laura is “Prairie Fires” by Caroline Fraser. I found it very moving. Laura and Almanzo went through much more than is told in the books (which I adore and respect)
By the way, she pronounced it “Al-MAN-zo”, the middle syllable like the word “man”. There’s audio of it!
One day at elementary school my teacher showed us some pictures of the Laura and the family in real life and from the show
Great video ! Thank you from France
Thanks! You're welcome.
That was VERY interesting ! Thank you! 🥰💐🌷🌞🌛🐣🐤🐰💗✝🇺🇲
Read her wonderful books, multiple times, growing up in the 60s. Visited the home in Mansfield, early 80's and doing genealogy recently, discovered we are related. Laura Ingalls Wilder brought frontier life into our homes, as did the TV series I've watched many times. Shameful the rabid left in our government took away her literary award in 2019 or '20. Nothing is sacred to them. God bless her for the gift of literature she left us.
I've studied my family history extensively. I have a tree with thousands of people on it. I keep meaning to put the Ingalls in and see how distantly related they are.
Leave your ridiculous politics out of this. For pete's sakes the Osage Tribe has the absolute right to be pissed off about the racism written into Laura's a books same with the Great Sioux Nation and all the tribes of North America. Racism from 100 years ago is still as shitty, it should be remembered but not acclaimed.
The school board in my home town removed Annie Tallent's name from an elementary school after the local Sioux people rightfully complained about having the school named after the woman. She was the "first white woman in the Black Hills" and her writings, normal for the day, are quite racist.
THANK YOUSO MUCH! from the French alps
This totally different from the tv Seris that I loved watched over and over
Thanks
You're welcome. Yes, they look much different, for sure. I'm working on another video now. I had planned to put all the Ingalls and others (like Reverend Alden, etc.) in this one but there were so many photos, I decided to do one with just Laura and Almanzo, and one with everyone else. I'll have it finished soon.
Beautiful. And such a happy life from those pics. Loved the series. LHOTP and the original Anne of Green Gables were my favourites.
It’s also lovely to see how, even as she aged, she still has soft feminine features - unlike the ‘celebrities’ of today that all look hard and masculine as they age.
Yes, I think she enjoyed a long, happy life. She did look well clear into old age.
Despite the hardships growing up she was quite the beauty, wasn't she? And what they called a "handsome woman" in her later years. I can see why Almanzo was smitten.
Yes, she's very attractive and the kindness shone in her face.
Thanks a lot!
Wonderful! I always wished I could had meant her!
I’ve read all the books and I Love them ❤
I know about them through drama Little House on The Prairie...the life & adventures of Charles Ingall's family living on farm in Walnut Grove....
Saya menyukai novel dan versi dramanya...cinta Laura dan Alfonzo benar2 cinta sejati..
Ya, cerita yang bagus.
My Mom read her books to me a chapter a night. We watched the movie and then the series based on the books as well.
That's great. Mom loved the books and show as well, and encouraged us to watch and read.
Read her biography. It's absolutely riveting. I couldn't put it down. Had no idea that the life she portrayed was so much different than her actual life.
Which one, the one by William Anderson? That's my favorite, by far.
Nice compilation. Please keep the captions on longer.
Laura also wrote articles on being a farm wife and for farm wives. There is more than just the books.
I had no idea the tv shown was created around a real family-I thought the show was completely made up. I am shocked to learn every name in the show is after a real person. I never read the book series so i did not even know she was a writer. Fabulous history right here. Loved the photos. So incredibly interesting. Thank you
Hold up, she's real person? Well shit you learn something new every day.
Yep. She wrote the books about her family that the show was based on.
I love this video
turkiyedede hic unutulmadi halen konusur anlatiriz birbirimize mukemmeldi simdi artik kucuk evi herkes yapiyor ve aniyor
Biggest flex is that I’m related to her
Do you know how?
@@HistoryBUB I don’t remember exactly how but I remember my dad explained it when I was younger
Sweet!
❤😍❤
Glad you like it.
When I was in the 3rd grade 56 years ago, my teacher read the entire Little House on the Prairie series to us a few chapters at a time. Every day I would look forward to coming in from lunchtime recess to hear another few chapters. She would turn off the lights and we could put our heads down on our desk if we wanted to. I’ve always cherished that year of 3rd grade for that reason alone. Ironically, she was a horrible teacher the rest of the time!
That's a lovely memory. That teacher did more for her students than if she had been drilling them in math and science during that time. She instilled in you and probably others the love of literature, reading, history that made your lives richer. Thanks to that teacher, and to my own 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Orr, who allowed me to read the books in our classroom during study time. That was in 1963.
It’s so interesting, in her early years she actually resembles Melissa Gilbert who played her in the tv series.
No doubt! That's weird, I just answered a comment before yours exactly that and never saw yours first. 😆
When i married in 1966 and went on to have 4 childern we went on as the years by to watch little house on the pràire our children loved it and still love it its still tv so explain that
I love your idea to share! The captions disappear too soon, especially since the picture remains several seconds beyond that.
I wonder if the photograph of the family at 1:07 was taken not long before Laura, Almanzo, and Rose set out for Mansfield, Missouri?
I didn't know Little House On The Prairie was from a true biography! 😆
I'm finding out that many didn't know. I like to bring people from the past to life. I do it on my family tree with my ancestors too. Love it.
